Probably a catalog item at MSC Direct or any large machinists supply house.
In a pinch I've free hand ground radii on 2 and 4 flute EMs on bench
grinders and belt sanders.

Don't know. Need a good finish on bottom and sides and radius, all with
one cutter.

Any chance you can use a fly cutter with a hand radiused (sp) bit after
leaving 1/4" of material on the bottom?

For cutting plastic, is there a suitable router bit that would work?

I agree with Dennis - I cut UHMW all the time and a router bit will do
the best job (use about 6000 RPM)
